Plot Synopsis

Set in the ruins of an abandoned, once grandiose 19th century city in Brazil, the film follows a woman, Helo, returning to a world of memory and feeling, where characters - perhaps trapped souls - are living and re-living moments from an unspecified past. In search for answers and completion, Helo penetrates their dream-like reality, absorbs them, challenges them, releases them. Their memory bank gradually erased, they disappear into the ether. In a climactic finale she confronts her own personal nemesis. She survives the life-and-death confrontation, and, left behind, she dances alone, immersed in dust and eternity.
